Whoa! Studios Lunch & A Show Party Package Frequently Asked Questions 1. Why is there a set menu? We use a set menu for kids to ensure everyone can eat at the same time and the kitchen can deliver during a very busy lunch service. Our birthday packages are an awesome family experience with great quality entertainment, play and food. With the number of adults being significantly smaller than the number of children attending a party, we like to give the accompanying adults a bit more flexibility with their dining options. 2. Can we just book a table and order from the menu? No, our Party Packages take place at peak times and our chefs need to plan for set menus for party groups. Wait times for casual diners can reach up to an hour. 3. How many people can attend a Whoa! Studios party? We can cater for up to 48 guests for a birthday party. Usual group sizes are 8-12. 4. What is the minimum number of people for a kid s party? A minimum of 8 is required for the Lunch & A Show Party Package. 5. How long are Whoa! Studios parties? Our shows vary in duration from 40 mins to 50 mins - please check show duration when booking. The dining area used for the Lunch & A Show Party Package is available for up to 1.5 hours. Playground wristbands are valid for the entire day. 6. Are we limited to specific times for parties? Yes, the shows run at set times as do the booking times for party tables and the set menus prepared by our chefs. Please book in advance to secure your preferred times. 7. Do adults have to pay? Yes. 8. Can I pay on the day? Party packages must be paid in full one week prior to the party but if adults choose to dine on the day this part of the bill will be settled on the day at The Grounds. 9. Do I need to provide a guest list? No, but we do require confirmed numbers to confirm the booking. 10. Can extra guests come on the day? Possibly, we will try to accommodate them on a best effort basis, subject to availability and additional charges. 11. What time should we arrive? It is recommended that guests arrive at the Box Office no later than 30 minutes prior to the show. 12. When do we sit down to eat? This will depend on your birthday itinerary. It could be before or after your show. This will be confirmed during the booking process. 13. Do adults eat at the same time as the kids? Yes. 14. Can you cater to allergies and other dietary requirements? Yes, please be sure to specify when booking. 15. What are the opening hours? Birthday packages include all day play wristbands for the Urban Playground, which opens at 9am. You may come as early as you wish to play in the park, regardless of your show and meal time.

For full cancellations or guest cancellations less than 7 days prior to the event, the full fee is non-refundable. 24. What if the weather is wet? Our theatre and backstage areas are fully sheltered from the weather as are our birthday tables so you will have a wonderful experience regardless of the weather.

No, the Urban Playground is provided for free to patrons of the studio so there is no refund.
